Employee commitment to Energy Management : a qualitative interview study about employee commitment to Energy Management in industrial companies and public real estates
2015Co-Authors: Ilona KaipainenAbstract:Author Ilona Kaipainen Title EMPLOYEE COMMITMENT TO Energy Management A qualitative interview study about employee commitment to Energy Management in industrial companies and public real estates Subject Corporate Environmental Management Type of work Master’s Thesis Time (Month/Year) September/2015 Number of pages 80 + 5 pages of appendices Abstract Energy Management is increasingly important to organisations that consume significant amounts of Energy mainly due to the needs to comply with changing legislation and for saving financial resources. Even though Energy Management has received academic attention, it has not been studied in the perspective of employee commitment. Employee commitment may create various benefits to an organisation and its employees. Hence, this study aims at creating a better understanding of why employees commit to Energy Management and how it may be enhanced. This qualitative study was conducted using theme interviews as a data collection method. 14 employees, working among Energy Management, in eleven organisations in the fields of industrial companies (5) and public real estates (6) were interviewed. The data was analysed using thematic analysis. The findings of the study revealed that employees might have various different motives towards Energy Management. Besides motives, there are many opportunities and challenges related to Energy Management that may influence employee commitment to Energy Management. In addition, the results suggest that human resource Management practices can have a significant influence on enhancing employee commitment to Energy Management. Because of the novelty of the subject, this study provides a basis for future research on employee commitment to Energy Management. It also presents suggestions for Energy Management practitioners in regard with enhancing employee commitment to Energy Management.

Trends in Energy Management Technology - Part 3: State of Practiceof Energy Management, Control, and Information Systems
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, 2004Co-Authors: Gaymond Yee, Tom WebsterAbstract:In this report, the third in a series, we provide an evaluation of several products that exemplify the current state of practice of Energy Management, Control, and Information Systems (EMCIS). The available features for these products are summarized and analyzed with regard to emerging trends in EMCIS and potential benefits to the federal sector. The first report [1] covered enabling technologies for emerging Energy Management systems. The second report [2] serves as a basic reference for building control system (BCS) networking fundamentals and includes an assessment of current approaches to open communications. Part 4 of this series will discuss applications software from a user's perspective. It is important for Energy managers in the Federal sector to have a high level of knowledge and understanding of these complex Energy Management systems. This series of reports provides Energy practitioners with some basic informational and educational tools to help make decisions relative to Energy Management systems design, specification, procurement, and Energy savings potential.

Multi-modal Building Energy Management
2017Co-Authors: Ingo MauserAbstract:The Energy transition from fossil Energy carriers and centralized power plants towards renewable Energy sources and distributed generation calls for suitable approaches supporting this change. Smart buildings adapting their inbound and outbound Energy provision, i.e., their demand from as well as supply to surrounding Energy systems, will be an essential part of a multi-modal future Energy system. A promising way to gain additional flexibility in our Energy systems is a holistic Energy Management approach to the provision, conversion, distribution, storage, and utilization of all Energy carriers. This thesis contributes to the field of Energy Informatics by providing, firstly, theoretical foundations of multi-Energy systems, multi-modal Energy Management, and multi-commodity optimization, secondly, the architectural design and exemplary implementation of an automated building Energy Management system performing multi-modal Energy Management by means of multi-commodity optimization, and, finally, the evaluation of exemplary smart buildings using multi-modal building Energy Management systems, quantifying the expected effects of automated Energy Management, hybrid home appliances, and measures of demand side Management in exemplary multi-Energy systems.
